Campus conservatives, libertarians and moderates met Tuesday night for an informal meeting with several candidates running for president and Speaker of the Senate for the Associated Students of Colorado State University to decide who to vote for, but not all of the candidates were in attendance.

Presidential candidate Jacob Epperson and his running mate Carter Hill; presidential candidate Tristan Syron and his running mate Kevin Sullivan; presidential candidate Allec Brust; and Speaker of the Senate candidate Ben Amundson pitched their campaign platforms to and answered questions from members of CSU’s Turning Point USA chapter, Young Americans for Liberty, the Conservative Interest Group, the International Conservative Coalition and College Republicans.

Neither presidential candidate Liam Aubrey and his running mate Lynsie Roper, nor Speaker of the Senate candidate Merall Sherif, were in attendance. Sherif said she was unaware of the meeting, but said she also did not approach any of the organizations about speaking with them.

Aubrey said he heard about the meeting through people he knows who are still a part of the student groups in attendance,

Alumnae create comic to combat sexual harassment

By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad

Human resources consulting firm simplyHR serves small businesses, but they seek to create a huge impact.

In the wake of the impactful #metoo and Times Up! movements that are facilitating conversation about the devastatingly common

everyday prevalence of sexual assault, Colorado State University alumna and cofounders of of simplyHR Tina Todd and Nikki Larchar are making waves to revolutionize sexual harassment education inside and outside the workplace. Their project, entitled “Define the Line,” is a comic book that aims at combating typical HR training gaps in empowering workers

to advocate for themselves by depicting realistic scenarios that encourage bystander intervention and how powerful those who experience harassment can be.

“I am really excited because we are going to be empowering people to take charge and to really feel like, ‘I can actually say something in this moment,’” Larcher said.

“That is something that is not

Conservatives >> from page 1 but he and running mate Lynsie Roper were not invited to speak.

CJ Ash, the chairman of the Conservative Interest Group, said all of the campaigns who attended the meeting were invited to speak at the meeting, but Aubrey’s campaign was not invited to the event after he renounced his affiliation with TPUSA. Those in attendance who were not affiliated with any of the organizations were asked to leave the meeting since individual members openly

discussed for whom they wanted to vote.

“Since individual members in this room were talking about which candidates they preferred, we didn’t want any chance of individual names getting out (of) endorsing any candidates that could result in backlash,” said Sierra Wolfe, the digital media coordinator of TPUSA. “We definitely did not even really talk about … who we were voting for.”

The group of students decided not to vote for the same candidate, and instead opted to vote for the campaign they most preferred, Wolfe said.

All of the campaigns who attended the event discussed their views on the group Students

Against White Supremacy, who directly accused TPUSA of white supremacist rhetoric during the CSUnite event and who distributed flyers with the Intersectional Activism Network of a Ku Klux Klan-esque figure with the TPUSA logo on campus.

Syron said he agreed with SAWS’ views since they want to create a campus that is safe for students affected by bias-motivated incidents, but he disagrees with the group equating Nazism to candidates or student organizations since it delegitimizes the harm Nazis have done.

$600,000 appropriated at city council meeting for Prospect Road improvements

By Matt Bailey @mattnes1999

During last night’s city council meeting, Fort Collins city councilmembers focused on 15 different consent and discussion items, but Ordinance No. 047, 2018, which includes planned improvements to Prospect Road, was the most widely argued item of the night.

The decision to pass this motion means that $600,000 in funds will be appropriated into the Transportation Capital Expansion Fee Fund and the Transportation Fund into the Capital Project Fund for the East Prospect Road Improvements Project.

The appropriation of the $600,000 means the design process for the project can be initiated, and an additional 1 percent of appropriated funds, or $6,000, would go towards the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund for Art in Public Places.

An overall budget of $4 million is anticipated for this project by staff, and construction of these improvements are set to begin in 2020. The construction for this project and the Prospect Road Interchange improvements is anticipated to be completed by 2021.

Councilmembers, specifically Councilmember Ross Cunniff, debated with Fort Collins City Engineer Chad Crager over the timeline, budget processes and the specific details of the planned improvements to East Prospect Road.

“What we want to do is get in there with designs so we can coordinate with (the Colorado Department of Transportation) on that project with the intent to finish construction before or at the same time as CDOT finishes construction of the I-25 and Prospect Interchange,” Crager

said.

In this project, East Prospect Road would be reconstructed as a four-lane roadway from Sharp Point Drive to Interstate 25 western frontage road.

Additionally, two travel lanes, bike lanes, pedestrian facilities, utility improvements and intersection improvements at Prospect Road and Summitview Drive and landscaped medians and parkways would all be newly constructed along East Prospect Road.

Councilmembers requested Crager delve into the planning process of the improvements, but Crager and the councilmembers had some misunderstandings along the way.

When Cunniff asked Crager to clarify specific planning dates and to explain why the project did not go through a prior budgeting process, Crager initially did not give Cunniff the answer he was looking for.

“Maybe I’m not asking clearly, let me ask it a different way,” Cunniff said. “When did we know that we wanted to enter into this partnership with CDOT and the other local governments?”

Crager said the general discussions were coordinated with the Colorado Department of Transportation last fall, and that CDOT signed a contract with its contractor this year. He also said he wanted to wait until the contract was finalized before planning these changes and improvements.

Severalofthecouncilmembers ultimately seemed to be unfamiliar with the project, and they wanted to clear up these details before appropriating the funds for the project.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been involved in a conversation about East Prospect,” Fort Collins City Manager Darin Atteberry

(TPUSA) is a conservative group, and there’s nothing wrong with being conservatives,” Syron said.

“I don’t think we should just throw that word (Nazi) around like it’s willy nilly because it is a big deal.”

Epperson said he and Hill never overlook acts of white supremacy, but they also will not disregard conservative students’ voices.

“In no way does the Epperson-Hill campaign ever condone white supremacy or bias-discrimination on this campus, but we also feel that conservatism means we are not racists, bigots, sexists or other terms they’ve coined us as,” Epperson said. “In order

said. “I’ve been involved in conversations about the interchange.”

After closely reviewing the specifics of the East Prospect Road Improvements Project, six out of the seven councilmembers who were present voted yes on passing the motion to transfer funds for the Prospect Road Improvements Project.

“I think the process could’ve been a little better in this case, however, I have driven on Prospect Road during rush hour, so I will be supporting this motion because I would like to see some movement on that,” Councilmember Kristin Stephens said.

to have a campus that is truly progressive, we must include everyone in that conversation.”

Brust said she does not condone white supremacy, but also does not agree with the mentality that all conservatives are racist.

“I in no way condone white supremacy … but one thing that I will say is that we’ve got to stop this thing that I call ‘racist catcalling,’ which is catcalling organizations and calling them racist under the guise of being conservatives,” Brust said. “I have many friends who are people of color, who are conservative, and it’s just a terrible thing to see.”

SAN BRUNO, Calif. – A woman opened fire at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California, shooting three people before taking her own life and causing widespread panic in the technology hub south of San Francisco.

Two law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times that the shooting was a domestic incident, with the shooter targeting someone who worked on the YouTube campus. The incident occurred in an outdoor area that’s easier to access than other parts of the campus, the sources said. It’s unclear if the assailant worked there.

San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini told reporters Tuesday afternoon that one person, believed to be the shooter, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Four people were taken to area hospitals for medical treatment, three with gunshot wounds.

Officials with Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center said the hospital had taken in three patients, two women and one man. A 36-year-old man was in critical condition, a 32-year-old woman was in serious condition and a 27-year-old woman was in fair condition. None of them has been in surgery.

The condition of the fourth person was not available.

Several YouTube employees sent tweets Tuesday afternoon, saying people were racing out of the company’s Cherry Avenue offices shortly after 1 p.m.

In a tweet, President Donald

Trump offered his “thoughts and prayers” to everyone involved in the incident Tuesday afternoon.

“Witnesses in the area said they saw dozens of firefighters and police officers descending on the area. Other witnesses said they saw police holding rifles and other weapons.

The first reports of a shooting came in to San Mateo County dispatchers before 1 p.m., according to recorded traffic posted online by Broadcastify.com.

“Shooter. Another party said they spotted someone with a gun. Suspect came from the back patio,” the dispatcher said, according to scanner traffic posted online. “Address is 901 Cherry Avenue. ... Again we have a report of a subject with a gun, they heard seven or eight shots being fired. This would be from the YouTube building.”

As the reports began to flood dispatchers, a sergeant was heard on the radio taking the call. He told other officers responding or monitoring the situation “to wear their gear.”

Video from the scene showed people holding their hands over their heads as they left the building, which is located in a suburb south of San Francisco. An employee told the Los Angeles Times that three YouTube buildings – 900, 901 and 1000 Cherry Avenue – had been placed on lockdown.

Producers from YouTube tweeted that they believed there was an active shooter on the company’s campus. Some said they heard so many people running that they believed an earthquake had struck. Others described a gruesome scene.

Money Smart Week began Monday

By Daniela Navarro @thedanielazahra

Finances are the number one reason students withdraw from college and what gives them most stress, according to researchers from Wartburg College.

Colorado State University is working to change that.

April 2 began CSU’s Money Smart Week. The week consists of different presentations at the Morgan Library Event Hall throughout the week until this Thursday. All presentations are free and open to students as well as the public, and each lasts about an hour.

The week covers almost every topic concerning money ranging from financial aid to budgeting to preparing for retirement. They aim to explain and share how money is used in everyday lives and how important it is to know how to use it wisely.

Money Smart Week is a national organization.

According to their website, they aim to help people manage their personal finances better.

The presenters of each presentation vary. Some are CSU Faculty, while others are from well-known finance companies such as Public Service Credit Union or

Charles Schwab.

“Students who have good finances are going to be able to chase their dreams a little better,” program coordinator Naomi Lederer said.

Money Smart Week has taken place in the Morgan Library since 2014, with the goal of helping students be smarter with their money.

“Money Smart Week gives them a practical skill set, so that they can have better money skills,” Lederer said.

The skills learned in the presentations are for the purpose of using them in real life situations.

“I believe that if people were better with their money the world would be better off,” Lederer said.

There are also other money learning opportunities.

Starting April 4 until June 20, a personal finance series, Money Matters, will be ongoing throughout Northern Colorado. The classes are free and are powered by several different organizations like Northern Colorado Credit Union, Poudre River Public Library and Ent Credit Union, to name a few.

YouTube >> from page 4 “I looked down and saw blood drips on the floor and stairs,” Todd Sherman, a YouTube producer, wrote on Twitter.

“Peaked around for threats and then we headed downstairs and out the front.”

Lucacio Simoes, 40, an Uber driver from San Bruno, learned about the shooting from a friend’s text message while he was having lunch at the nearby Tanforan shopping center. Simoes said he drove his Ford Explorer toward YouTube headquarters to see if he could help.

“There were people running down the street,” he said.

Simoes said he turned off the Uber app and started to pick up people he passed on the street.

“I just opened the door and asked if they needed help.

I was getting people away from YouTube. At one point I had seven people in the car.

I picked up one man from Sneath Lane and when he got in the car he just started crying. He was in shock.”

Simoes said he performed at least six such rides Tuesday afternoon.

Michelle Tam, a hostess at the Hashes & Brews restaurant about a block away from the company’s headquarters, said a swarm of police and fire vehicles drove into the area around 12:45 p.m.

Tam said three YouTube employees came into the restaurant appearing visibly shaken.

“They came in from a back door,” she said. “They sat down at a table. They were in a daze.

One guy, there was a little blood on his head.”

One employee had a partial fragment of a bullet in her shoe, Tam said.

At another nearby business, roughly two dozen customers barricaded themselves inside Nueve restaurant around 1 p.m., when authorities told them to “stay far away from YouTube,” bartender Carlos Gutierrez told a reporter over the phone.

“Is this really happening, or is it a false alarm?” Gutierrez wondered aloud as he and others huddled near the bar.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Congratulations second shot Bracket contest winners!

Brust-Winchell are the best choice for ASCSU

By Daniela Pineda Soracá @CSUCollegian

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board. Letters to the Editor reflect the view of a member of the campus community and are submitted to the publication for approval.

Students of Colorado State University, My name is Daniela Pineda Soracá. I had the honor of serving as Colorado State University’s student body president during the 20162017 school year. I entered the position as a sophomore student that did not know much about the day to day challenges and valuable opportunities for growth that I would be immersed in.

Taking into account my own experience, I am confident that Allec Brust and Mareena Winchell are the best option for the president and vice

Thanks to all who participated and thanks to our sponsors:

president positions at ASCSU. I advocated for renewable energy alongside student groups, worked with different ideologies and, above all, worked as a mediating leader to promote the diversity of all ideas on our campus. It is a tough job. One has to be a compass for unique students and decision makers that have a wide array of ideas and goals.

Allec Brust has been a facilitator of ideas since I met her. She has shown a commitment to civil discourse through her work as the opinion editor at The Rocky Mountain Collegian. Allec is authentic in the way she carries herself. She not only wants to tell each students story, she loves doing it. This is a key skill for the job. Getting stuck in the office drama is easy, but Allec always looks at the bigger picture and works to be an objective voice. This is a key leadership quality that is required for the ASCSU President so students can engage on campus and beyond.

I had the pleasure of

meeting vice presidential candidate Mareena Winchell during my time as an inclusive community assistant in Braiden Hall, where she currently serves as a resident assistant. She has been trained in recognizing the daily life of a student, and she is constantly challenged to create community. Mareena has consistently shared her desire to be a friendly and nonintimidating face in the ASCSU office, which is something she had in common with me.

These women possess the qualities that student government leaders need to thrive. They are dedicated to meeting their goals as the first entirely female ticket in ASCSU’s history. These women have my support, and I hope they can earn yours too.

Voting ends today at 4 p.m., so vote on RamWeb! Daniela Pineda Soracá ASCSU President 16-17 Readers may submit letters to letters@collegian.com.

HEMP IS IN FASHION

SEE HOW HEMP IS CHANGING FASHION TEAGAN SMITH What’s not to love about Colorado? 300 days of sunshine, the Rocky Mountains right up the road, friendly neighbors, our ecofriendly environment, and of course we can’t forget about the NoCo Hemp Expo this weekend in Loveland, Colorado! Vendors from all over the state will be there to show and tell you why their textiles and designs are eco-friendly, odorless, and have numerous other benefits that are worth every penny. This week, we spoke with textile vendors and clothing companies that utilize hemp to create their products and designs, and we’re going to change your first assumption about Hemp.

So, what does hemp have to do with fashion? Read along and learn how this tough material is sticking around and making a statement in the industry.

Hemp Traders began in 1994 and has become the largest supplier of hemp products in North America. Lawrence Serbin, the President and founder of Hemp Traders, got his inspiration for the business from researching cannabis and the different uses.

He discovered that hemp could be used for clothing, cement, textiles, rope, paper, essential oils, and more. Hemp products are imported from other countries for now. However, in the future, companies are looking to create factories in the U.S., more specifically in parts of Colorado. The ability to produce textiles and other products for hemp in the States will create a vast amount of opportunities for the business.

Envirotextiles is a newer company but has still been in the hemp industry for 35 years, and their suppliers in China have been in the business with them for just as long. Summer from Envirotextiles, said that they have set up micro-mills in Romania and are developing two in Colorado; they have one micromill on the eastern plains and one in Western Colorado near Glenwood Springs. Their big money maker that the moment?

Composite! Think of bulletin boards… Isn’t that cool? Do you care about the environment? Do you care about your health? Of course, you do! Envirotextiles is breaking the idea barrier with new medical scrubs, “to reduce the spread of bacteria such as staph through the use of hemp fabrics with naturally inherent antibacterial properties,” and you can read more about this on their website!

Hemptique is a fresh and calm Californian company that sells clothing, bags, shoes, jewelry and more! Check them out for your next environmentally friendly shopping spree online! They also sell yarn at Hobby Lobby and JoAnn’s Fabric!

Last but certainly not least, you have to check out Chiefton Supply! Their ideas had me on the edge of my chair, and I cannot believe their clothing line is not already seen all over Fort Collins! Check out this brand that has taken clothing to a new level and targeted their customers needs like a bullseye! This style is perfect for the Millenial age group, and I have no doubt their products will be showing up around campus soon!

Hemp clothing is one of the most durable natural textiles, is resistant to ultraviolet light, and hollow-- which creates a flow of air for the products and makes it more absorbent to hold the dye. And hemp is already making its way into your closets!

Patagonia, Prana, Jung Mavin, Ellen Fisher, REI, to name a few of many others, are companies that have or are currently selling products made from hemp!

OPINION Wednesday, April 4, 2018

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

Study drugs are risky and unnecessary Lauren Willson @LaurenKealani

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board.

Adderall misuse is on the rise among college populations and 18- to 25-year-olds, according to 2016 research by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In universities across the nation, the stimulant—typically prescribed for treatment of ADHD—is increasingly being used as a study aid.

Most students who abuse the drug believe it helps them study better and longer, especially in the stressful days or weeks leading up to major exams. But the supposed advantages of Adderall are overshadowed by its risks and side effects, both shortand long-term.

Students should focus on developing effective study skills and healthy lifestyle habits instead of relying on prescription stimulants to carry out academic responsibilities.

What is Adderall and why is it prescribed?

Adderall is a stimulant made up of two substances: amphetamine and dextroamphetamine.

The chemicals work well for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) because they increase the amount of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.

Specifically, they raise levels of norepinephrine and dopamine, brain chemicals that play a vital role in thinking and attention.

DRUG ABUSE HOTLINE ■ If you or someone you know

is struggling with drug abuse, please reach out to the Drugabuse.com hotline at 1-877-9781523, available 24/7.

When appropriately prescribed, Adderall can have remarkable effects. It can take someone with ADHD who has extreme difficulty focusing on a task for more than several minutes and give them the physiological tools necessary to pay attention for several hours.

Adderall may also be prescribed for conditions like narcolepsy or depression.

Why are students using and abusing Adderall?

College is hard. For most students, it is a time of both

great independence and great responsibility.

Managing obligations—from coursework to actual work to internships to relationships—can be exhausting and stressful. It seems there just aren’t enough hours in the day. That’s where Adderall comes in.

Adderall increases alertness, making one feel more awake and focused. It elevates heart rate and suppresses appetite, allowing one to study or work longer without taking a break.

It also raises levels of dopamine, giving one a sense of euphoria.

Adderall can also provide a sense of enhanced mental ability, which explains its apt label as a “smart drug.” However, this is only an illusion. The drug has not been shown to improve learning ability in those without ADHD, according to an academic review published in the scientific journal Brain and Behavior.

Why is it a problem to take Adderall without a prescription?

There is really no reason for someone to take Adderall unless they have a valid medical reason and need the drug to facilitate daily activities. To use “Addy” as a study aid is to misuse it.

Plus, taking a prescription drug without a prescription is illegal.

Same goes for distributing or selling it.

In addition to these issues, Adderall can have negative side

effects, both immediately and after extended use.

Short-term side effects include irritability, restlessness, irregular heartbeat and insomnia. It also causes appetite suppression which may lead to weight loss. The long-term side effects are more unsettling: paranoia, depression, hostility.

Rare side effects include seizure, stroke and heart attack.

Extended use can lead to dependency on the drug, which may be psychological or physical.

Psychological reliance may cause one to feel extreme stress or panic when the Adderall cannot be obtained. Physical dependency may manifest into symptoms like fatigue, depression and irregular sleep patterns. In either case, the side effects are the result of withdrawal, as abnormally high levels of neurotransmitters leave the brain and the body tries to return to a state of chemical equilibrium.

What can students do instead?

There is no single pill to help one succeed in school, just as there is no miracle drug for weight loss. Yet in an attempt to solve both these issues, people turn to pharmaceutical aids as a quick fix. And, that is perhaps the biggest problem: Rather than addressing the root problems contributing to a physical or mental malady, the afflicted

seek out a solution measured in milligrams.

Instead of taking Adderall, or any other “smart drug,” students should work on developing good study habits. Go to class, take notes and revise them.

Form study groups before difficult exams. Learn when to prioritize assignments over extracurricular responsibilities and social obligations. All easier said than done, but totally doable.

The Institute for Learning and Teaching is a resource right here on campus that aims to help students develop these beneficial study methods.

Beyond studying, it’s important to establish healthy lifestyle habits. Eat well, drink lots of water, exercise regularly and spend time with people who make you smile. College is hard, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

The rise of study drugs, combined with seemingly constant pressure to perform, may prevent some students from remembering that no grade is more important than their health. What’s truly important is to take care of oneself. That way, when exam day arrives, a student will know their success (or failure) was their own doing.

No drugs necessary.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

International conservatives feel silenced

By Marcos Rosell Perez @rosell_marcos

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board. Letters to the Editor reflect the view of a member of the campus community and are submitted to the publication for approval. Marcos Rosell Perez is the president of the International Conservative Coalition at CSU. Dear editor, This letter is in response to the article “Thousands take to CSU campus in demonstration against hate, ‘bias-motivated incidents’” The International Conservative Coalition at Colorado State University is appalled at the blatant disrespect towards members of our community. This unfair and abusive targeting of conservative individuals

is especially unfair to the hundreds of students from around the world who have fled communist Cuba, socialist Venezuela, communist narcoterror groups in Colombia (FARC) and countless totalitarian dictatorships around the world.

The ICC is a newly formed coalition in response to both the repeated attacks on conservatism, and our desire to provide further opportunities for our international students with conservative values. Our goals are to advocate, educate and facilitate.

We will advocate for any international student that may feel pressured to suppress their political values by the education system. We will provide opportunities for education that our current system does not. Lastly, we will facilitate.

Conservatism doesn’t fall under just one bubble.

We are not an official student

organization, but we would be honored to act as a thoroughfare to find a group or organization that suits the skills and passions of each individual student, whether that be with Turning Point, Young Americans for Liberty, Conservative Interest Group, College Republicans, NRAU and others. We stand with all of these organizations as allies and friends.

Students Against White Supremacy should be ashamed and should immediately apologize to the thousands of conservative students at Colorado State and should specifically apologize to the minority students within our movement. The careless and baseless accusations of white supremacy have put members of our “tolerant” campus in honest fear of hostile action from SAWS and other extremists. No one deserves the label of white supremacy for simply wanting a limited

and accountable government, controlled spending, and freedom.

Our members and their families have fled the horrors of totalitarianism, communism and perpetual dictatorships in search of the American dream.

We have placed our trust in the administration of Colorado State University to keep us safe while we learn, contribute and grow.

SAWS speaks of white privilege, but from the perspective of our immigrant members, the Students Against White Supremacy have the “privilege” to slander and defame without any repercussions from the administration. Rumors and hearsay have become the standards for the burden of proof. It’s disrespectful, dangerous and illegal.

The dangers of inaction by the administration are catastrophic.

By allowing this type of defamation and

persecution, the University is condoning witch-hunts and allowing the irreparable division of its prized student body.

We stand with the Conservative Interest Group at CSU and demand an apology from both the administration and SAWS. With this in mind, we want to hear from you. The International Conservative Coalition will be joining the Conservative Interest Group on the Plaza, Wednesday April 4 at 10 a.m. to meet with members of our community.

Thank you to our supporters, our members and our allies.

In Liberty, Marcos Rosell Perez – President, International Conservative Coalition, CSU. Letters may be sent to letters@collegian.com.

When submitting letters, please abide by the guidelines listed at collegian.com.

NOPE DOPE

Conservative leaders should disaffiliate with Turning Point USA

By Collegian Editorial Board @CSUCollegian

Editor’s note: This is an editorial.

Editorials do not reflect the view of all employees of The Collegian, but instead represent a stance taken by the Collegian’s editorial board, which consists of the editorin-chief, the managing editor, the digital production manager, the news editors, the opinion editor, the sports editor and the arts and culture editors.

Liam Aubrey, a presidential candidate for ASCSU, recently renounced his affiliation with Turning Point USA, the conservative group that has, quite suddenly, created a lot of controversy on this campus. We think other conservative leaders should do the same.

Conservative students have a right to free speech. They have a right to start student organizations on campus.

They even have a right to endorse a candidate for student government president, if they see fit. In fact, they did just that in 2017, and that candidate won.

But, Turning Point USA poses a new threat to our campus that other conservative student organizations do not.

Turning Point USA is a national organization with strong rhetoric and smart branding. “Big Government Sucks!” “Socialism Sucks,” and “I think, therefore I am a conservative,” are just a few of the most popular signs and slogans. The organization’s stated mission is to train and organize students to promote freedom, free markets and limited government. Those are clear conservative values.

But, Turning Point USA is doing more than just rallying students behind capitalism and small government, according to investigations by The New Yorker and The Chronicle of Higher Education. It’s also — potentially illegally — funnelling money into student government elections, allegedly fostered an atmosphere that is hostile to minorities in its highest ranks, maintaining a “watch list” of professors who promote a “radical agenda in lecture halls,” and inviting speakers to college campuses that seem to damage their very simple, innocent message.

The daily paper for Ohio State University, The Lantern, found through leaked text messages and audio that TPUSA secretly set aside $6,000 for one student campaign, and The Chronicle of Higher Education reported the same trend on other

campuses. Internal Turning Point documents obtained by a New Yorker reporter in December suggest that the organization may have broken campaign-finance laws that bar charitable nonprofits from participating in political activity.

Secretly funding student government campaigns and breaking campaign finance law isn’t exactly a way to foster trust between the organization and campus. Similarly, hosting Milo Yiannapolis at CU Boulder in January 2017 damages the organization’s credibility.

Yiannapolis is known for his divisive rhetoric, notably calling feminism “cancer” and Islam a “lifestyle choice.” He is commonly referenced as a figure who brought the alt-right into the mainstream.

Only a month after Boulder hosted him, Yiannapolis resigned from Breitbart when a video of him endorsing pedophilia resurfaced online.

Leaked emails to Buzzfeed from his time at Breitbart show Yiannapolis consulted with white supremacists about Breitbart content, and a leaked video shows him with white nationalist Richard Spencer.

Last month, TPUSA’s chapter in Boulder invited Ann Coulter to speak on campus. Coulter is a social and political commentator famous for her bestselling book and controversial columns.

Coulter is known for intensely anti-immigrant rhetoric (saying President Trump’s Sh*thole comments were meant to “win her back” in a tweet), Islamophobic comments (calling Islam a “car-burning cult,” for example) and aggressively anti-choice comments (saying we should make abortions for liberal women compulsory in a tweet).

Beyond TPUSA’s speaker invitations, who only appear to cause controversy and divisiveness in favor of real dialogue, the organization itself has allegations of racial bias at the highest levels. New Yorker reporter Jane Mayer was provided screenshots of messages from Crystal Clanton, who worked in TPUSA until summer 2017 as the national field director, that said, “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like f*ck them all … I hate blacks. End of story.”

Clanton left the organization soon after the incident, and Charlie Kirk, the founder of TPUSA, said they took decisive actions for the incident.

When Kirk, the founder of TPUSA, and former Breitbart contributor, came to CSU in early

February, white nationalists made it clear days before that they would come to counter any protesters for the event.

Protesters, antifa and a group of white nationalists showed up outside, and protests began to turn violent until the police dispersed them.

As we wrote in an editorial at the time, we acknowledge that this group of white nationalists was not affiliated with TPUSA. But, we find it disturbing that this group imagines that they are — and perhaps they imagine they are on Kirk’s side because he claims white privilege is a myth and his organization invites radical speakers to college campuses.

Students Against White Supremacy demanded that Turning Point USA be banned from campus — not conservative students. We are disappointed that on this campus, in only a matter of a few months, the two have become one in the same by a product of good marketing skills and the organization’s $10 million budget.

Aubrey lost his community for his disaffiliation: He was not invited to the meeting conservative students held with candidates on Wednesday night, though one could speculate that his political beliefs as a registered Republican have not changed.

He likely just didn’t want to be associated with a group that is increasingly wrapped up in controversy.

No, it is not fair that conservative students at CSU are being tried as white supremacists on social media because of their affiliation to Turning Point.

It only further divides us and shows a lack of empathy for those on the opposite side of the political spectrum.

But, to the vast majority of campus, to align with TPUSA is to do more than align with freedom, free markets and limited government. It is to align with an organization that has, on a national scale, aligned itself with members of the alt-right and that has proven itself to be untrustworthy and uninterested in productive dialogue. Other students have disbanded and dismantled their chapters, such as Kent State University.

Turning Point USA’s actions run counter to conservative values, even if its rhetoric does not. Conservative students can and should find a better organization that more accurately and sincerely promotes their values, instead of one that only pretends to.

SOFTBALL

CSU sweeps season series against Northern Colorado

By Mack Beaulieu @macknz_james

Coming off a Big 12 series win over the weekend, the Colorado State softball team continued its strong play on Tuesday, taking a dominating victory over the University of Northern Colorado Bears to sweep the season series.

Sophomore Allison Petty battled through her fourth start of the season and the Rams quickly built up all the run support she’d need, as junior Lauren Buchanan and the rest of the Rams’ lineup came out on the offensive.

The Rams started off hot.

Junior Sarah Muzik led off the top of the first with a walk before Buchanan and sophomore Haley Donaldson hit back-toback RBI doubles. One more run scored on a passed ball, to set up Petty with a 3-0 lead heading into the bottom half of the inning.

Petty had to fight in the first two innings as she put runners on second and third in the first and loaded the bases in the second, but ultimately escaped both innings unscathed. Buchanan added two more of her RBIs in the top half of the third before the Bears finally broke through for a run on Petty to make it 5-1 heading into the fourth.

Including Tuesday, Buchanan has eleven RBIs in her last four games.

“I don’t know (what’s got into her). I just hope she keeps it up,” coach Jen Fisher said. “No, but really, she’s just seeing the ball and executing extremely well.”

Buchanan was back at it in the fourth with a two-RBI double, giving her five RBIs on the day. She then came in to score on another Donaldson double, to make it 8-1 Rams. In the bottom half of the inning, Petty got out of trouble before it started, putting

the Bears down in order.

“She just keeps getting better,” Fisher said of Petty. “She keeps working through things, so we’re able to play her longer. We need to get her as many innings as we can, because she’s really coming along.”

The Rams scored yet another run in the top of the fifth, courtesy of redshirt junior Danni Klien, before Petty and the Rams got out of trouble one last time.

Petty walked the first two batters of the inning before senior Kaylynn Pierce came in for relief. After a single led to a runner being out at third, Pierce gave up another to load the bases with one out. However, the next two batters went down on groundouts. On the first, a fielder’s choice saved a run from scoring and ensured the game would end there in a 9-1, run-rule victory.

After having a few scoring

droughts this season, the Rams will try to carry the momentum that has led them to 32 runs over the last four games into this weekend against the New Mexico Lobos.

“We’ve got to continue being

tough outs, even if we’re behind in the count or with two outs,” Fisher said. “We’re starting to see that and we really need to continue it.”

Rams ranked No. 15 in week one rankings Broncos’ Super Bowl 50

Trophy showcased in LSC

By Mamadou Balde @mamadoubalde62

Coming off a weekend where multiple athletes set personal bests and registered times on the top-20 all-time lists, the Colorado State men’s track and field team was ranked No. 15 in latest national rankings.

The ranking comes from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association. The system used to set rankings bases them off historical data for individual athletes. In this week’s ranking, the Rams earned 116.92 points.

The Rams were also ranked No. 15 in the preseason rankings from the association.

With their ranking this week, the Rams have now been ranked in the top 25 for 11 consecutive weeks. They are the only team in the Mountain West to be ranked in the top 25.

The Rams’ ranking comes from the contributions of the distance crew, led by Jerrell Mock, Cole Rockhold and Grant Fischer, who all had stellar starts to the outdoor season. At the Stanford Invitational, Mock and Fischer both ran the 10,000 meters in under 29 minutes. They are the only athletes in program history to run a sub-29 minute 10,000 meters and both have now done so twice. Rockhold set a personal best in the

5,000 meters with his time of 13:40.29, eclipsing his previous record by just over 12 seconds.

Rockhold’s time currently ranks second on CSU’s all-time list and the Independence, Missouri native ranks third in the nation in the event.

Mostafa Hassan also continues to contribute a large portion of points to the Rams’ ranking despite not having yet competed in the 2018 outdoor season. A two-time NCAA champion, Hassan’s

contributions come from his nation-best shot put mark of 21.31 meters, set prior to the start of the season. The Cairo, Egypt native placed second at last year’s NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Up next, the Rams will compete at the Colorado Invite, hosted by the University of Colorado, Boulder on April 7-8.

MOVIES & TV

Netflix original series ‘Love’ returns for its third, final season

By Jonny Rhein @jonnyrhein

Come on, who doesn’t love “Love”?

The Netflix original series “Love” returns for its third and final season. It follows Gus, an average, unlikely hero who meets Mickey while she’s doing what she does best: causing a scene in a gas station.

Their friendship blossoms into a relationship that reaches its peak in the newest season.

“Love” focuses less on the big picture of love and more on the everyday situations of a relationship.

As with almost everything Judd Apatow slaps his name on, “Love” is nothing groundbreaking, but the clever writing and realness keep you wanting more. In the season opener, “Palm Springs Getaway,” Gus deals with the frustration of unknowingly leaving the Bluetooth on his phone connected to a speaker in the main room of the house while he watches an adult film in the bathroom. As you could guess, everyone hears it. I mean, who can’t relate to that?

The Bluetooth confusion, not the porn.

While seasons one and two set up and move the story

along, season three delves deeper into back story and character development. We learn about Gus’ secret college fiancé and his unfortunate Hollywood reputation. In Bertie Beverly Bauer’s, the most lovable character on the show, long overdue episode, she finally explains why she left Australia for Los Angeles.

Gus’ neighbor, Chris, turns out to have a more complex life than just a Kramer-esque meathead. Mickey really seems to be on the right path. Her struggle with drugs, alcohol and sex have dwindled down to nothing but temptations that she overcomes.

‘LOVE’ ■ Watch ‘Love’ on Netflix now.

Gus is the embodiment of a nerd and a nightmare.

Sometimes you want to strangle him because of his cheesiness, like in the episode “I’m Sick” when he sings a cringy impromptu song about soup as he brings a bowl to Mickey. Sometimes you want to strangle him because of his pettiness, like in the same episode when he unfairly

lectures Mickey about her carelessness when it comes to hygiene. The scene is so brutal that a friend of mine said it gave her relationship PTSD. The recurring characters and cameo appearances in “Love” could be the most fun element of the show.

Brett Gelman’s exaggerated portrayal of the pathetic fake doctor and DJ Greg Colter makes you unable to take your eyes off his downfall. After he sinks as low as anyone could possibly go, his tasteful overacting makes you want him to go just a foot deeper without giving him any sympathy at all.

Should you watch it? Absolutely.

For a show that prides itself on being real and down to earth, the finale seems farfetched. A guy so overlycautious about getting sick like Gus probably would not marry an unstable ex-addict on a whim. But a show as charming as “Love” deserves a happy ending, so I’ll let it slide. The final episode closes perfectly with “You and I” by Wilco, a simple song with lyrics that sum up the entire series.

CSU alumna’s play, ‘Dirt,’ to open at Bas Bleu Thursday

By Maddie Wright @maddierwright

Bas Bleu’s newest play dishes the dirt on dirt.

“Dirt, A Terra Nova Expedition,” a play written by CSU alumna Laura Pritchett, follows the history and predicts the future of dirt. It will be showcased at Bas Bleu, a Fort Collins theatre company, from April 5 to May 6.

This will be the first time the play is ever performed for an audience. It features stories about things that happen and have happened involving dirt, including the dust bowl, climate change, chemicals, tree root microbes, nematodes, myths and future science. Pritchett is an author from a small ranch in northern Colorado. Her work often surrounds the natural world. She has won multiple national literary awards for her five novels.

Writing a play that Bas Bleu is describing as the centerpiece of their 26th season was a new experience for Pritchett.

“As a novelist, I’m used to working alone (and then with an editor),” Pritchett said in an interview with Bas Bleu. “That is a very solitary experience, by necessity. This is a whole different beast, and I can’t wait to see what people do — everyone from the actors to dancers to lighting to set to directing.”

In addition to the show, there

will be talkback events throughout the shows running at Bas Bleu.

The first is on April 8 and will feature soil and climate scientists, titled “Cutting Edge Soil Science: What’s Up for the Future?”

The second, titled “Soil under those fingernails?” is on April 19 and features local communitysupported agriculture and farmers discussing locally grown food and history.

The last talkback will be on April 26 and features Dr. Diana Wall from the School of Global Environmental Sustainability and Biology Department, Andre Franco from the Biology Department; Dr. Suellen Melzer from the Soil and Crop Science Department and Dr. Pankaj Trivedi from the Bioagricultural Science and Pest Management Department.

This talkback is called “Life in Unexpected Places: Exploring the world beneath our feet.”

This play was commissioned

by Bas Bleu. The local theatre company described it in a press release as “an ambitious multisensory exploration of survival, soil science and environmental stewardship.”

“Basically, the play examines the history and the future of the six inches of material that saves us from oblivion,” Pritchett said in an interview with Bas Bleu.

“I think people avoid having these conversations because it is uncomfortable,” Todd said.

“And although it is slightly uncomfortable to go through these different scenarios (within the comic), we hope that it will open up some doors into some more comfortable, frequent conversations so that people can really advocate for each other and themselves.”

Todd and Larcher’s original ideas for the project surrounded creating a coloring book, but after brainstorming with members of the Fort Collins community and conducting research on retentive training materials, the company unanimously settled on the comic book medium.

“It turns out that graphic novels and comic books are actually really awesome training tools in that people remember the information verbatim at a really high percentage,” Larchar said. “There is also a high emotional connection with something that is tangible that they can hold and read. When we started doing more research it became really clear that it was not only fun and different but could actually be really powerful and effective as a training tool.”

SEXUAL HARASSMENT ■ Sexual harassment is a prohib-

ited type of gender discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The HR consulting firm hopes to produce multiple volumes of the comic book to encompass the multitude of various situations one might encounter in terms of sexual harassment by representing different workplaces and environments as well as various workplace relationships. To produce the most authentic ,and therefore the most helpful project possible, Todd and

Larchar have incorporated input from the community by providing people with an opportunity to share their stories anonymously to be reallife, empowering scenarios within the book.

“There is an amazing community of people that are supporting this project,” said Larcher. “We have heard from people that we know, people that we have met one time, and they are all offering to say, ‘Hey, what can I do to help this project?’ So, I think the community that is being built around it just feels so cool, and it is so amazing having so many people that are offering their help or giving us suggestions and feedback, which has been so vital for how we have grown the project so far.”

The company has partnered with the Fort Collins’ Sexual Assault Victim Advocate Center so that individuals who are sharing their stories to be published have resources and additional support when retelling their difficult and traumatic experiences.

“We’re excited to work with SAVA, too, because we can tell a story from the HR perspective, and what the clients concerns are, and the workplace angles and things like that,” Todd said. “But then to be able to have them look at it too, from a victim’s advocacy perspective, is huge, and I feel like it will really benefit the whole story and how to round it out.”

During multiple instances of collaboration and conversation with members of the local community, artist Moriah Hummer—another CSU alumna, was a name that was repeatedly suggested to simplyHR as a key component that would make the project come to life. Larcher said she remembered seeing Hummer’s work, another CSU alumna, hanging in the Lory Student Center, and she found her artistic style impactful and inclusive.

“When we saw her artwork, both Tina and I just fell in love with how she portrays characters and the diversity that she is able to portray in her own comic books,” said Larcher.

“We thought that was super important for this project.”

Not only did Hummer’s artistic talent indicate to Todd and Larcher that she was the

ideal candidate to illustrate Define the Line, but also the comic book artist’s enthusiasm for the cause. According to Todd, Moriah was eager from their first meeting to work with the team, and a huge component of why they chose to hire her was her passion surrounding the company’s mission towards nondiscriminatory safety.

“Giving victims or bystanders more power in a sexual harassment scenario made me really excited,” Hummer said. “We need to do whatever we can to empower those people and change the negative culture we have surrounding victims of sexual harassment.”

Hummer said for every one person who comes forward about their experience, there is an onslaught of people trying to tear them down.

WGAC to offer Secondary Survivors Workshop

By Nate Day @NateMDay

April is sexual assault awareness month, and with focus being turned to the subject, Colorado State University’s Women and Gender Advocacy Center is hosting a workshop for secondary survivors.

The website asoneproject. org defines a secondary survivor as “someone who is close to the survivor and may experience some of the same side effects such as personality changes, depression and emotions related to the trauma.”

The workshop will cover topics like supporting loved ones and understanding trauma’s effect

“It’s hard for victims to come forward in a culture that isn’t supportive,” Hummer said. “That’s why it’s important to help their voices be louder, more understood, or just help shut these situations down as soon as they come up.”

Those who want to contribute their stories to Define the Line can do so at their website, simplyHRpartners. com/definetheline.

Submissions can be anonymous.

The company’s Kickstarter page will also open on April 12 and will help the company print and distribute the comics.

“We are one of many HR’s trying to make a difference,” said Todd.

on the brain, according to Casey Malsam, the assistant Director of Victim Services with the WGAC. Malsam also notes the three goals of the workshop: participants leaving with an understanding of rape-supportive culture, gaining knowledge of how to be a good support person in times of crisis and learning about vicarious trauma and how it can affect people in multiple ways.

The workshop will take place on April 5, from 5-8 p.m. and is open to the entire CSU community. Space is limited for the event. Those interested in attending can register by emailing wgac@colostate.edu.
